Early Fall

Early Fall Event

50th Annual Trail RideOctober 4-10, 2020

Welcome to one of the most beautiful times of the year in the Ozarks. Riders will experience some of the most breathtaking scenic views in the state of Missouri at this time of year. Our fall foliage is nearing its peak and the weather is beyond believable for horseback riding. The crystal clear waters of the Jacks Fork and Current River reflect the vibrant colors of the changing foliage to make picture perfect photo opportunities.

We offer nearly 300 miles of cut trails for you to traverse among which there are several dramatic scenic views from the top of hills and bluffs. Our weather is normally very nice with temperatures ranging from low 50’s to mid 70’s. This event is normally attended by serious trail riders who come to ride all day, but also enjoy the evening activities. No dogs are allowed at this event, we welcome service dogs, but only service dogs not pets. Guests will be asked to register service dogs with our office upon arrival and will be expected to keep the dog under control and on a leash at all times the animal is outside a trailer. Guests will be asked to describe the task their service dog is trained to perform for them. A certificate from the internet or a service dog vest will not be adequate verification.

Cross Country Trail Ride will be taking the following precautions in order to provide a safe environment for our guests:

*All guests will be required to sanitize their hands before entering CCTR Restaurant or Dining Hall.*In May, the dining area will be closed and guests will fill their plates and eat at one of the outdoor tables or at their campsite.*We will be limiting the number of guests in CCTR Restaurant so that we can allow for 6′ distancing during food service and will ask guests to space themselves 6′ apart while going through the food line.*In June, the dining hall will be open for food service. The food bar will be open from 11:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m. daily for lunch and dinner to help with long lines. Guests will be asked to maintain a 6′ space between them while in line. Guests will be able to eat inside the dining hall, but will also have the option to take their meal back to their campsite if they are more comfortable.*We encourage all guests to practice good physical hygiene during your stay with us and wash your hands with soap and water regularly.*All guests will be encouraged to practice social distancing when gathering around campfires or at the dance.

We have presented our plans to the Shannon County Health Department and to our local health inspector for approval. They have both approved these plans and we are making every effort to follow the guidelines suggested by the State of Missouri. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
